AMERICAN SNOBBERY

Mr. Henry Latzka is a manufacturer of woolen gooes at Brun, in Austria, lie is one of the jurors to award premiums on woolen goods at the World's Fair. He recently presented a memorial to the Way and Means Committee of the llmise of Representatives, at Washingington, in favor of a reduction of the tariff on imported woolen goods. One of his reasons is that there are certain Americans who wish to buy foreign made woolens, and that they ought to be allowed to buy them freed from the tariff tax. We quote from his memorial the following paragraph:

Tliero Is a certain class of consumers in the I*nitod States who prefer Imported goodssitnply because they are Imported. The same pods of the same quilitj may be male In the United Stains and sold at lower prices than the imported article. Still this class insist on imported "articles, though thev pay a deaivr price ami do Dot jr-'t abetter article'or 111 •'r •money.

In another part of his mem jrial he says:

The World's Columbian Expr.sUUin at Chioajro, with its 1*28 dittereut evtuiKts of vool-.-n yttods. ami'ly proves tii.vt ail qualities aud grades arc manufaeiuied in tiio United States. The most important of Uic-e American exhibits haw heeit assigned to me iiy the executive committer on awards !.•) rcyjrt upon as|a member of the international jury, and 1 have found that the 'jrrouter part of Iheui can compete with the very best and tiaest woo!en poods made In E'lrop?: style, ciutllty, and tiaisli are etceilent.. It seems to me a mere prejudice of a certain class in America that prefers foreign m.idc to domestic goods.

If Mr. Latzka had said silly snobbery instead of prejudice he woull have hit th-j nail exactly on the head. No doubt hj is correct in saying there is a class of Americans who prefer foreign made

g.tods,

except that he errs in calling

them Americans for nothing cou:d be more urtAmericAn than to prefer foreign goods to home made, when the home ma'le was just as good and a3 cheap as the foreign. No trne American will ever patronize foreign manufacturers so long a.i l.e can get just as good and as cheap goods from his own countrymen. It UieU to be fashionable to say that these foreign woolen gooda were preferred be cause they were both better and cheaper tiif.n the home made goods but Mr. Lmtzka, himself a foreign manufacturer, puts this contention at rest. The greater part of the American exhibit, he says, is us', ae good as the very best and finest of the foreign woolens. What a rebuke to our free trade Democrats who are continually trying to disparage the genius and skill of their own countrymen! The snobbery which prefers foreign goods for no other reason than that they are foreign—and that la the way Mr. Latzka puts it —should be and will be despised by every friend of the United ll is very fashionable now for those who are able to afford it, and some who are not, to send to Paris for wedding dresses.

gennine Suites.

We have no bit of doubt that just as good and genteel dresses are made by our American women as were ever made in I'aris. But then, if purchased here, the world would not be astonished by a publication of the fact that the wedding dresses wore imported from France. Anv true American boy would rather marry the girl he loves in a plain American calico gown, made up by some industrious, deserving woman in his own tow.), than the finest outfit that Mr. Worth ever sent from Paris und he would ehow both good eenseand patriotism in his preference. And, at the end or ten years he and his plain girl wonld probably be better off and happier than iIih s-illy snobj who preferred foreign wcdd'Dg goods just because they were

kh.vh ie uot, uttvr all, so sure about that extraordinary variety of color-bliudnes* which it in«-nli»»rK*l the other day us it might be. Hut on-* thing it sure of, and that is that the tarill' on lorvlgu manufactured article never raised th- price of a similar article manufactured iu th's country. 11 tho tariff docs uothavethat eilect. th:it ia to say. If it docs not enable an A im lean manufacturer to sell his product for m««re than he could get if the tariff did not ex fit, what in the name of common sense does the tariff do'/—lii'lUinajxili* XciV9,

We pat a plain, direct question to the We aekod it if there was any known instance in all oar history, wlwe a tariff imposed on an article manufactured in this country, had ever increased the price thereof to the consumer. The above is the answer thereto and the only answer any one has ever attempted to give. If the tariff does not increase the price, what in the name of common sense does the tariff do? asks tho Netcs. Well the question is easily answered. It makes manufactured article cheaper. We cited the News to wire nails. It does not deny the facts wo stated, nor does it attempt to show that it was any other thing than the

American competition, brought about by tho tariff, that reduced the price of steel wire nails from 8 cents to 3 cents at retail. Buch ha« been the effect of the

tariff on the prices of articles from the foundation of the government, nud the News does not pretend to deny the facte that have bwa cited. And now ns it is the fashion of the AVir# to answer ain question by asking another, we wil put another plain question to the i\Vu\*. If the tariff makes uinunfncturcd commodities higher, why do foreign manufacturers work bo hard ami spend so mnch money to have the tariff reduced? Now we propose to give a fair and candid answer to the AYirs' question if it will first answer this question.

BURIED ENOCH ARDEN ALIVE. An Egyptian Judge Who llrlleved Wltupssm Itulhfr Than His Own Sent*?*.

A Swiss captain, at the end of a sanguinary and prolonged battle, caused the dead and dying1 to be thrown alike into pits and buried together. Someone pointed out to him that many of the bodies still showed signs of animation. "My pood sir," replied the Swiss, "if a man were to pay attention to the signs they show there would not be a dead body among tho.in." A similar power of preventing- the mind being turned aside by trifling considerations appears to have characterized a certain kazi in the city of Cairo, Mansur Hin Musia by name. His decisions, according to the London Standard, were usually rather extraordinary, but every now and then they were so remarkable as to attract attention from disinterested outsiders. On one occasion the inhabitants of Cairo were shocked to see living man borne through the streets, tied fast to a bier, and hurried toward the cemetery to be buried alive. His lamentable shrieks were entirely disregarded by the bearers, who remorselessly carried out their duty to its bitter end. It was soon ascertained that the Kazi Mansur was responsible for this atrocity, and, although Orientals are not easily shocked where the administration of justice, so-called, is concerned, yet in this ease it was felt that some inquiries should be made. Accordingly, the kazi was interviewed and he was asked why it was that he had caused a living man to be buried alive. Like Mr. Gilbert's young lady in "The Mikado," it was doubtless pointed out to him that burial alive is too "stuffy" a death to be agreeable. They found the kazi quite ready to satisfy their doubt. "You wish." he said, "to know why this young man has beeu buried alive.

Well, his burial has been ordered by me in due form because six* months ago his wife was married to another man according to the decree of the law, two witnesses of a very respectable character having certified to his death at Bagdad. The man, however, came before the court one morning, pleaded that he was not dead, and advanced a claim to recover his wife. I ordered the two witnesses to reappear, and they proved beyond doubt by fresh evidence that they had attended his funeral at Bagdad, where he was buried in tlieir presence. From this circumstance it is easy to conclude that the man cannot be a real one, but the ghost of a former, and must therefore be laid in order to put an end to all future disputes respecting the woman." The bystanders thereupon, as we are told, "dissembled their misgivings, praised the kazi's justice and retired."

TYPES OF BAD MEN.

Characteristics of the Frontier Desperadoes Who Ileld Life Cheap. The wonder grows whence sprang these men, who, with pistols ou both hips und lcuires in tlieir bells, were ever eager for some fray, and when no one could be found to accommodate thepi picked a quarrel and then killed their fellow-man.

The peculiar dangers that attend the pursuit of gold seem to bring out. in enormous degree, all the latent viciousness in man, and the interest is, where did such men hide themselves when in more peaceful parts, or did the mere sight of the precious metal or the insatiable greed to obtain it transform a respectable citizen into an animal in contrast with whom a royal Uengal tiger would be sociable and almost companionable?

I asked this question, says a writer in the .San Francisco Chronicle, of II. J. Crow, of Los Angeles, one of her most prosperous and adventurous business men, who had founded Idaho City and had followed mining in many states and territories, about the characteristics of these "bad men" and whence they came. "You could generally be ton it," said Mr. Crow, "that they were from th southern states, and seemed to hav had dark experiences before they had penetrated into the mines. As a rule they were lazy men. possessed with almost animal strength, and were utterly devoid of remorse. Indeed, these men—and I have known several—apparently felt that they owed nothing to society and had no responsibility. I Saw three men hanged together one day and heard one say to the other: 'Well, Jim. go ahead, I'll meet you

In hell in a minute/ and when it eame his turn to swing he shouted: -Three cheers for Jeff Davis.' They actually feared nothing und held their own lives as cheaply as they took others. Where these men disappeared after the mines gave out., or whether they ever became peaceable citizens, I cannot say. I know several have adopted the latter role, bat it would take very little provocation to make them as bloodthirsty as when they sought victims in Idaho."

Oh, men, who are good, who ure honored and great. Be kind to your brothers of lowly estate. If inastivs, thou Ive not in tuskiug severe. If rulers, thou rule men in love and not fear.

SOLID ALL THROUGH.

They relate mainly lo the action of sun and moon upon it in the creation of tides. Astronomers have calculated that the earth olfer.s as much resistance to tidal deformation as wonld a rrlotHS .of steel, and hence it is not a molten mass with a thin crust, but a solid or nearly solid body, i'rof. Newcomb has added another kind of proof. Some small, varying changes of latitude have been detected and shown to be periodic, and these periods are shown to correspond with what would theoretically occur if the earth were solid, while they do not correspond with what would occur from similar defections of the axis of a molten mass thinly encrusted. While these arguments may not be considered conclusive they are entitled to more respect than those which at one time were accepted as showing that the earth is a mere crust cooled upon the surface of a molten mass. The new view of the earth is much more satisfactory than that of Descartes. "Firm as a rock" will linve added strength to its meaning when it is established that the rocks are not liable to fall through the supporting crust into a cauldron, where they may be melted and disappear.

Caution.

Imitations have been put upon the market. ho closely resembling Allcock's Porous Plasters in general appeal anco as to well calculate to deceive. It is, however, in general appearance only that they compare with Allcock's, for they are worse than worthless, inasmuch as they contain deleterious ingredients which are apt to cause serious injury. Ileineinbor that Allcock's are tho only genuine porous plasters—the best external remedy ever produced aud when purchasing plasters do tot only ask for out see that you get AUcock's Porous Plasters.

Knns for Kutrrtahiiri^ It.

Although man has lived upon the earth for thousands of years and made many discoveries, he has not yet mastered its surface, much less solved all the problems it presents, says the Baltimore Sun. In some respects he niows more about the planets and tars, that are millions of miles away, than he does about- the globe on which he lives and moves and has his being. But if his knowledge of the earth's surface is limited, it is nevertheless much greater than his knowledge of ts interior. It was the belief of seintists years ago, and is still the belief of the m-ajority_ of tolerably wellread people, that this earth of ours is a molten mass covered by a thin crust of chilled and hardened material. One of the suggested reasons for this belief is the observation that the temperature of rocks increases as one descends into the earth at the rate of one degree for about sixty-four feet. It has been assumed from this observation that a temperature which would inelt the rocks would be reached before going many miles. Volcanic action has also suggested a molten interior, and so also has the appearance of rocks subjected to great heat. But scientists do not accept these observations as conclusive. On the contrary, they show that so far as these observations go the question is still left open, and that there are certain other facts winch appear more conclusively to show that the earth is solid or nearly solid. The increase of temperature in the interior of tlie earth is accompanied by increase of pressure, which, it is believed, raises the melting point, so that notwithstanding the observations in mines the melting point jf rocks may never be reached. Moreover, volcanoes may not be vents for the interior molten mass nor for large reservoirs. The matter they eject may be rendered fluid or gaseous at the moment of eruption by a sudden withdrawal of pressure or by the action of water. The proofs of the theory that the earth is solid are so much dependent upon mathematics that they can only be described in general terms.
